Akra Garrison

The Akra Garrison was a military compound in the Jewish district of Alexandria, Egypt which existed during the late Ptolemaic era. In 48 BC, the medjay Bayek infiltrated the garrison, where he started an uprising of rebel prisoners and assassinated the key officers and the phylakes Gennadios. In 47 BC, shortly before the Siege of Alexandria, Lucius Septimius and Pothinus imprisoned one of Julius Caesar's emmissaries in the compound, and Bayek later rescued the emissary and brought him back to the Ptolemaic Royal Palace.
